open source equivalents

jmite · 02-02-2009, 10:28 PM

so I've been looking on wikipedia and around the internet, and haven't found much, and it's always nice to get people's personal opinions, so I was wondering, what are some good open source alternatives that are similar to these proprietary games:

1. Age of Empires II (some kind of RTS)
2. Rogue Squadron (3d flying/fighter game, preferably scifi)\
3. Super Smash Brothers

thanks!

1)
Globulation 2
Glest
Bos Wars
Battle for Wesnoth (turn-based)
FreeCol (turn-based)

3)
Just use:

My suggestions are quite similar to those of already listed by , but anyway, here they are. I am mentioning them from my own gaming experience.

1. Age of Empires II - Battle for Wesnoth
2. Rogue Squadron - Flight Sim
3. Super Smash Brothers - SuperTux
